I have a mid-2010 Mac G5, macOS ‘Sierra’. Can I install V.2 Serif product on that OS? Thanks …

Hi, Brian … your assumption about my documents not containing artboards is correct. My workflow is such that I work single-image. Occasionally I add another artboard, but it's not standard practice. You nailed the solution with your answer, and I appreciate the speed with which you did it. Thanks again.

Brian, thanks for such a quick answer. I'm going to plug that in to my v.1 Designer and (hopefully) the problem becomes a thing of the past. I'm assuming there's no ‘Universal’ setting that applies to all artboards created for any project, yes? Thanks again.

In Affinity Designer v.1, what are the steps that need to be taken in order for the objects placed OFF of the workspace onto the artboard to be VISIBLE? At present, anything that's in the active design space is viewable. When it's moved off of the design space, it can't be seen. HOW can this be corrected? If possible, please provide the steps to take to make this happen. Thanks in advance.

Apologies if this is an incorrect place to ask, but: How can multiple LUT files be selected and removed from Photo v.1? At present, I can only remove ones I don't use (or use infrequently) only by selecting the LUT and clicking ‘remove’ (or 'delete'). That's fine for single LUTs, but when they're part of a LUT package that was installed, it's a bit sticky wonking them out one at a time. Please advise if they can be group-selected (how to do that would be appreciated, too) and then deleted in one swell foop. Thanks to all for your advice and recommendations.

Thanks to all for your suggestions and informed input …

Dan … I don't know which LUT file format was selected to import. I've never had problems with any of them, but my usual imports into v.1 are .3dl and .look; sometimes .cube.

Hi, Dan … Installation steps given are as follows: Select ‘LUT’ > click > click ‘Import LUTs’ > navigate to the desktop folder that has the LUTs > open the folder > select the LUTs to install > click ‘Open’. Those are the same steps I use when installing LUTs in my v.1 Photo. I've had no problem. Your thoughts?

Hi, Walt … I screencapped the steps I use to add LUTs to my v.1 Photo and sent them to him to use for his installation. He replied that he got the ‘file not supported’ msg. Question: Is there any difference installing LUTs into v.2 Photo that didn't exist in v.1? It seems that process should remain a constant between versions, yes? Thanks again.

Hello again to all … I'm still using v.1 of Photo, but a friend is using v.2 (macOS) and can't install a LUTs set I sent him. He got the msg ‘file not supported’. I don't know which type of LUT he was installing (.3dl,cube, etc). Is there a difference in the method of installation between the two versions, or is v.2 more selective as to what type of LUT file it allows? I don't understand why he can't install them, since v.1 has always accepted any LUT type I've introduced to it. All thoughts and comments about possible cause(-s) and solution(-s) are welcome. Thanks in advance.

Hello again … and no, I am still unable to import actual PS styles. Since the time of my original post, Affinity have intro'd V2 of Photo, which unfortunately will not comport nicely with my macOS 'Sierra' (10.12.6). I have tried Walt's suggestion and, yes, it partially 'works', but there are still gaping holes left in the Satisfaction Quotient. Perhaps when I decide to (ahem) 'upgrade' my system and move up to V2, there will be a Happy Little Surprise awaiting me. That day, however, is still in future. In the interim, I must therefore spin my wheels and (when necessary) use PS to achieve the 'look' I want rather than the 'look' imposed on my text by a lack of 1:1 equivalence. That being said, I still prefer Photo to PS.

skybound13 … Yes, I realise macOS ‘Sierra’ is not a supported OS. It's why I cannot at this time upgrade to V.2. I still use many 32-bit apps that will break with an upgrade to a higher-version OS, and I'm not willing to take that hit at present. In future I may install a higher APFS-based macOS in place of the present Extended & Journaled OS ‘Sierra’, but as of now that's not an option. Depends on how much I need to give up in exchange for what I get in return … as of now, the trade-off's not acceptable. That may change.

skybound13 … please ignore prior query. Read too quickly but not far enough. Thanks …

skybound13 … interesting. At Step Nr 05, it appears to my wondering eyes that continuation will then create a ‘new’ PP account. Would that be a reasonable conclusion?

Hi, skybound13 … what is the mechanism that allows ‘guest payment’ thru PayPal? This is the first I’ve heard of that option. As previously mentioned, my only card is Discover. I have no Visa, AmEx, M'Card etc etc. Don't want, don't need, don't have. I also have no ATM or debit card. Same reasons. The trust level for both is at zero or less. My bank issued me one when I began doing business with them years ago. I directed them to introduce it to Mr. Shredder. I much prefer going to the inside window and chatting up the tellers. More personal. I will check the link you’ve provided, tho’ … might be the problem-solver. Thanks again.
